Question about a coupon from the 1/23 RP. Save $1 on any carton of Eggs with purchase of 2 Kikkoman products. Would it be ok to use other coupons for the Kikkoman products along with this coupon? coupon coding is 5 41390 10033 3. TIA

I did. As far as I could tell, the $1 q was for the eggs...so I also used one (or two? I don't recall...it's been awhile) coupon(s) on the Kikkoman.

Coupon is coded for $1 off 2 (33), so it's off the Kikkoman, not off the eggs...

Here's how it should work, according to the *wording* (which is what SD strives to uphold): the q is good for the eggs, so in theory you should be able to use a q for the 2 Kikkoman products as well.

But...here's how it *will* work in reality (assuming your store's system attaches q's to items): the q is coded to attach to the two Kikkoman products, so any other Kikkoman q you use will beep. YMMV on convincing your cashier/CS rep/manager/whoever to push it through.

Coupons for produce or eggs or milk or some other generic category of items that are worded "$x off produce when you buy a widget" will always be coded to attach to the widgit...because they can't be coded for "any produce" or "any eggs" or "any milk" or "any other generic product category". In theory you should be able to use a q for the widgit along with the q for produce wyb a widget, but it will be a YMMV situation.

Reps are back...for now. I owe loads of gratitude to everyone that got me where I am!Read the *NEW* CVS FAQ and post your questions there. Let's keep the deal threads deal-related, please.Would it kill you to read the wiki? Or to read the thread? All the experts got to where they are by reading...you can too.

Does anyone know if you are allowed to use multiple jello coupons on one jello item if they are different coupons? For example a 0.35/1 jello refrigerated snacks AND a 0.60/1 jello refrigerated snacks when I only buy one jello snack?

You are *not* allowed to use multiple manufacturer coupons in that fashion. The MFQ will say on it "Limit one coupon per purchase." You are only purchasing one Jello, so you can only use one Jello coupon.

Now, if one coupon was a store coupon (like Target or CVS), you could combine it with a manufacturer's coupon on the same item. But not two manufacturer's coupons.

General Q: My CVS takes expired Qs. Should I ever worry that they're not getting reimbursed for any MQ because of this practice? I want to make sure my CVS will continue to accept Qs for all shoppers and I'd hate to see the store completely deny Qs in the future because of some non-reimbursed Qs. Thanks!

If your store has given you their approval, then I wouldn't worry about it. While there's no hard and fast rule that I'm aware of, there certainly is some "grace-period" wrt stores redeeming MFQs. If you use a MFQ on the last day, there's no way the Q is going to get to the clearinghouse before it is technically "expired". There's also no way for the clearinghouse to determine if the MFQ was used on 4/30/11 or 5/1/11 (for example).

A rough guesstimate would be that so long as the Q reaches the clearinghouse within 2-3 months after the exp date, it will be redeemed w/o a second-glance.

I remember seeing some printable Hasbro MFQs awhile back that specifically stated that they *must* reach the clearinghouse w/in six months of the stated exp. date or else they would not be reimbursed.

I realize that you cannot FORCE people to coupon "responsibly". You cannot go with them to the store, scrutinize their every purchase, and stand beside them as they hand over their coupons, making sure that all coupons are being used on the correct products and that the manufacturer's "intent" is being abided by.

I realize that.

But when people are openly posting about coupon misuse (some even AFTER being corrected by fellow SD'ers), shouldn't there be repercussions for that?

Since TLC's EC show, the stores have become a free-for-all for every idiot that gets a Sunday paper and owns a pair of scissors. Can we PLEASE have some help on the boards when trying to teach people that "if you aren't going to coupon ethically, keep it to yourself!!!"???????

Hey, TR, a question about Hot Deals. Do they have different rules regarding posting of like mpps of a store coupon? I just noticed there's one posted in a Staples coupon thread. I know we're not allowed to here, but wanted to clarify because somebody eventually will ask the question, "It was done in Hot Deals. How come we can't do it here?"

I'm just curious where the information about the B1G1 "01" and "14" coding comes from...and I don't just mean the "barcoding thread". I mean...where did whoever the "powers that be" find that info from to begin with? A call to a manufacturer?

Also, why is this the supposed "rule"? I have used "14" coupons with $ off coupons before and have had them NOT beep...then again sometimes they do. I'm not sure what does/does not cause it to. But I must say, since the wording on the coupon doesn't preclude (unless of course it does obviously) using another coupon with it. I just don't understand why this "rule" exists on this board. To me, if a MF wants to prevent a customer from using another coupon with it then it should be written on the coupon...like the DND q's. Otherwise it should be allowed. I agree with another poster who said that MFQ's aren't supposed to be so "difficult" to use...otherwise a FAQ or Instruction Booklet of some sort should be in every coupon insert.
